MANILA, Philippines — A female employee of the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) had tested positive for the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), prompting the state-run pension fund to close its offices in Pasay and Quezon City for 30 days. Aside from its Metro Manila offices, GSIS will also close its offices in some parts of Mindanao until April 15. Meanwhile, Macasaet said that all other GSIS branch offices and extension offices across the country will remain open to the public. “All GFAL applications that were submitted to GSIS branch offices on or before March 13 will be duly processed and acted upon by GSIS personnel. “Apir requires all old-age and survivorship pensioners to personally appear before GSIS offices during their birth months as a prerequisite to continue receiving their pensions.
